Love this park. Host super friendly and accommodating. Restrooms very clean. Quiet and dark. Loved it. Only complaint is water pressure was very low. We were the only camper here most of the time.

I think this is a hidden gem of a campground. Out-of-the way, quiet and scenic beside the Arkansas river. The staff was attentive and friendly upon check-in, the restroom/shower facility was very clean, up-to-date and accessible. This is a nice place to spend a quiet and peaceful night. I would definitely stop here again.

Very clean and well maintained. Cleanest and nicest federal park I have ever been to. Camp host is very friendly. The bathroom facilities are clean modern and the hot water works. Best site is B2. Don’t be afraid to book the handicap spots off season as they are the all handicapped and the only ones available.

Beautiful, well maintained park on the Arkansas river. Off the beaten path by 3 or 4 mi of asphalt. We camped in a 40 ft RV and had no problems with access. The campground host was awesome.
